Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[Robert from yahoo bd]

The current administration may be in a holding pattern for the moment because they are not sure whether or not they will have access to the $150B in housing funds via BBB.

If they get the money, it seems HUD would be the agency vehicle to help housing. If they get zero money they may think about monetizing the gse "investment".

But wouldn't monetizing the ust "investment" be virtually impossible given the uncertainty surrounding the Takings Clause claims? Can a federal agency under the control of the Executive Branch of government decide how to spend federal money outside of Congressional appropriations, shouldn't the money go into the US Treasury general fund instead?
